Since people got fired for quoting Charlie Kirk's exact words, I think we should all start quoting some of Rob Reiner's exact words:

I've seen that screenshot of Trump's screed about Rob Reiner re-posted at least 20 times. Stop already. Or tell me there's a way to mute that image. We know he's a horrible person. This is not news. Probably wasn't even the worst thing he did in the last 24 hours.

I hope the City of Long Beach will start rigorously prioritizing safety and quality of life over parking spaces and traffic flow, regardless of what a few loud voices say. 53 deaths in a year in a city of under half a million people is tragic.
Long Beach police say they’re investigating the death of a pedestrian who was hit by a car in the area of Pacific Coast Highway and Maine Avenue on Nov. 13.

There is no historical "spirit", no necessary arc towards justice. There is only us, fighting for a new world in the shadows of our ancestors and forebears, always able to change everything.
Insisting the fight is already lost is as anti-historical as any claim that our victory is inevitable

Lord give us the Democrats that Republicans warn us about.

I clicked this link and followed the clear instructions on how to tell CA Gov Newsom he needs to do the right thing for trans people and sign these bills. I used their script and added that he will not have my vote in future elections if he throws trans people under the bus.
A huge win for trans people in California: the state legislature passed five bills protecting our rights!
Now it's time to call on Governor Gavin Newsom to sign them. Contact him before October 12th: transfamilysos.org/action-neede...

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.
